Cake and Bake Show London 2013

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to go to the Cake and Bake Show London 2013 and I thought I would share with you what I saw when I went.

There was so much to see and I managed to meet some great people, including some past and present stars of the Great British Bake Off! I don’t have photos with them with me but at least I have some great memories, and last year’s winner Mr John Whaite even follows me on Twitter now! Go team #GBBO!

Cake, Cocktails and Total Greek Yoghurt

I was lucky enough to be invited to the combined 30th anniversary of Total Greek Yoghurt being in the UK and the launch of their new TV ad. Myself and a few other lovely people were treated to a master class with Eric Lanlard where we got to decorate our own cakes and then in the evening sip cocktails and celebrate with the Total team. It was great fun and I learnt some new skills to make my cakes look a bit more presentable – whether or not it shows in the cake that I decorated is down to you!

So, on with the photos, courtesy of the Total Greek team:

Bake: Chocolate Ganache Cake

I am known in my office for my cakes and it has become a habit for me to bake when there are birthdays, people leaving etc. Last week I baked a lemon drizzle bundt cake which went down incredibly well and as it is one of the guys in my department’s birthdays today (and a big one at that since he is just short of 6 months younger than me) I thought I’d bake something for him!

The Chocolate House Kendal Review

After I’d been to The Mill Day courtesy of PaperMillDirect I spent the Saturday morning in Kendal, having a look around the gorgeous little town. I know for sure that I’ll be visiting the town again and hopefully this will be in 2013.
